fibres. Once the concrete mix design was finalized,
the mixing was carried out. The mixing of ECC
Concrete was carried out by using hand mixing.
The procedure of hand mixing was as follows:-
Add sand, cement, add the PVA fibres slowly then
add 50% of water & super plasticizer. Add slowly
remaining quantity of water & super plasticizer and
mix till the homogenous mixture is formed. Figure
2 and 2.1 represents the casting of cubes and slabs.

Discussion
In the above comparisons the compression
strength and flexural strength of the bendable
concrete is comparatively higher than the
conventional cubes and slabs. The reason behind
the higher strengths of bendable concrete is due to
the presence of fiber as reinforcement. The strength
of conventional cubes and slabs is comparatively
low since it is not reinforced.
V. CONCLUSION
In this paper the compression and flexural strength
of bendable concrete is done the values are
compared with conventional cubes and slabs.
Therefore it is proved that the bendable concrete is
more strength than the conventional concrete and it
is more flexible so that it resists cracks and acts as
more efficiency in seismic regions.
